[b][/b][size=13pt][/size] WIth HER degree and status as the first woman from Oxford what impact did she have on Nigeria? It is worth nothing to the country if she has to impact to a community rather than her family.

Hmmm

Glad to hear dat,itz high time our universities stepped up so that in the nearest future,it will be something like " Jeff becomes the 1st white man to bag a degree frm OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY".
Whites have already bagged degrees in most of our major universities.

Why did you have to go there? Why do you and that other person have to change this thread from what it was? She is Nigerian and we should all be celebrating.

Stop peddling false information. Here is a short biography of the lady:

Lady Kofo Ademola was the first black female and Nigerian woman to receive a degree from Oxford University.

She was born on the 21st of May 1913 and was the daughter of late Honourable Eric Moore, who was a member of the Colonial Legislative Council and Arabella Moore (nee Vaughan) who was German. She attended C.M.S Girls’ School and Portway College in England.

Later on, she gained admission into St. Hughes College Oxford University. She graduated with a B.A in English in 1935 making her the first Nigerian woman to graduate from Oxford University.

She was a teacher at Queen’s College Lagos from 1936-1938 and later on became the co-founder and principal of New-Era Girls’ Secondary School, Lagos. She was also a philanthropist and advocate for women empowerment

Lady Kofo Ademola was an educationist and a prolific author of children’s books. She was married to Sir Adetokunbo Ademola who was the first head of judiciary in Nigeria.

Her books are based on teaching children basic moral lessons. She died on the 5th of May 2002
